Excerpt from Self-Sacrifice: Or the Pioneers of Fuegia Firmness and constancy of purpose that withstands all solicitations, and in spite of all dangers goes on straight to its object, is very often sublime. The resolution of St. Paul in going to Jerusalem, where he had the firmest conviction he should undergo every species of danger and persecution, is a beautiful instance of the moral sublime, and there is something exceedingly majestic in the steadiness with which the great apostle of the Gentiles points out the single object of his life, and in the unquenchable courage with which he walks towards it. He says, "What mean ye to weep and to break my heart? I am ready, not to be bound only, but to die at Jerusalem, for the name of Jesus." "I know that ye all, among whom I have preached the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more." "Ye yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my necessities."
